Book Review: Wow, I'm Surprised This Is On Amazon!
Summary: 5 Stars
While I have admired those with the "Do-It-Yourself" attitude, people who set out to publish and distribute their own writings and art, I've never really been a participant in the independent printing movement. It has been a lifelong dream of mine to have some of my work published by a nationwide distributor with fine binding and all that jazz. Little did I know I could show people my work now with little more than a copier, some staples, and a stolen Sharpie.
Stolen Sharpie Revolution is a very small but intricately designed book that tells you everything you need to know about creating your own Zine. Alex Wrekk, who's been self-publishing since 1995, provides thoughtful suggestions for laying out pages, printing and binding, distributing your work, and raising awareness of free-speech independent zines in your community. The simple, clean, stylish layout of the book is inspiring, as it looks like something anyone can do with a bit of planning. In addition to all her helpful tips, Wrekk has compiled a listing of zine distributors, libraries, communities, and websites. This book is a great starting point for anyone considering self-publishing, and for a mere $4.00, you can't go wrong! Jump in a let your voice be heard!
